The room was clean, and was expertly cleaned up each day when I returned from my day. I had a King Bed room and was surprised at the roominess of the facility. Had a separate living area with bar, microwave, and refrigerator.
Was also impressed by the hotel's security. There was a guard at the entrance, and the doors were monitored and locked each night. An extra level a assurance and comfort.

I'm attending a screen writing class in downtown Los Angeles and the Ramada South El Monte is in between my home in San Bernardino County and downtown LA. I usually try to book the room and hang out until class starts, but I wasn't able to do so this time around. Unfortunately, I had to come back after class ended at 10:30 pm. I had previous booked a room and had to wait an hour before a bank transaction happened. The registrar was kind and understood why I was sitting in the lobby and waited and not in my car in the middle of the night in the parking lot. Its an average hotel; nothing fancy, but each time I've stayed I've gotten a room that is more like a suite. The staff is usually very kind and friendly to me and they are the reason I keep coming back. For the most part, the bathroom and rooms are very clean, I've never had a complaint.

This stay was the worst experience I've ever had. The AC was leaking and it caved in. Which want the worst part. My issue was with customer service. The manager was out for 2 days and they couldn't help me with my complaint until he came back. When he was back in called and he accused me of turning the AC on too low resulting in the roof leaking.

When i called to make a reservation, the recepsionist told me a certain price and when i got there a few days later the new recepsionist tells me the room i reserved is actually like $123 more than what i was told! I had no other option either. So instead of paying 139 i paid 278. And my friends car got broken into.

Air-conditioning didn't work had to call maintenance 1st thing. In addition we ordered room service which was horrible asked for no onions my daughter is allergic well they put onions causing her to have an allergic reaction. I called and asked them to replace it with something else. They rude management didn't even apologize and said they can't replace it with something else so I demanded a refund. The manager hung up on me. I did get the refund but would never stay there again

Stayed two night for a wedding. The rooms seems newly remodeled and it looks, but that luster soon disappears and you realize you're at a cheap hotel trying to look nice.
Pros:

It is right at the freeway exit which gives easy access. Did not have any noise from the freeway while sleeping.
Cons:
Upon check-in they will photocopy your driver's license and credit card. When I ask to get it back I was told they couldn't (because they photocopy it to the master receipt), but guaranteed they would shred it in 2 days. It's an outdated policy and now I have to monitor my credit card closely to ensure they did shred it.
You can open the windows and back door if you like but there is no screens so any bugs can come in.
WIFI is terribile. I tried 6 different connections from high signal strength to low,and it still was super slow.
Had the air conditioning set to 61F and the room never got cold at all. The air conditioner kept running but was not powerful enough for run
Had to go to a different floor for the soda machine as the one our on floor was out of order since March 2017 (I stayed in July).
Ice Machine tray was broken so you had to hold the container. There were gnats frozen into the ice. First bucket melted with dead gnats in it and so did the second bucket. After that we got our ice from the nearby gas station.
The Restaurant was only open to 2pm.
The exercise room was inaccessible. From the window it looks like it a storage room with boxes.
We had to call room service to make up the room. They don't come by unless you do so and there is no sign to put on your door to notify them you want the room made.

The bed frame was broken. I called first thing the next morning and was promised it would be fixed. When arriving late that night, it wasn't fixed. We spent 2 restless nights due to the frame being broken. They offered $20.00 off the rate for 2 nights. Nice gesture however, it didn't seem comparable to having minimal rest and paying so much. It should have been more. I am sure not all rooms have broken beds.

I paid the fee because I had been traveling and wanted rest, but i will NEVER stay here again. You got your 30 bucks, but lost a customer who has probably spent $4,000 - $5,000 over the years at your hotel.

Nice, clean room. Stayed two nights and the second day when coming back to the room I found the room to be very clean & picked up. I made the bed myself but when I returned, the cleaning staff remade the bed perfect and they did an excellent job. Left a cleaning tip! I've stayd here before and for the area and price, this is one of the nicer hotels for a quick, good nights stay and sleep.

Everything was well except. In the morning when our neighbor were leaving and kept going in and out of the room. When the thier front doors closed, it rattled our room. Needless to say it ruined our nice sleep.

Check in was ok, there is nothing near this location to eat, drink or anything of the adult nature. We were given a large room (which was great) but at the very end of the building, it didn't seem all that busy, why we were accommodated at the rear of the building was unnecessary. Restaurant is open only from 7AM til 2PM. We had to search the restaurant for a server.

No drinking glasses, just plastic wrapped paper cups. Ever try pouring the beer you need to numb the pain of staying at a place like this into a paper cup? Finally, what good is a soft bed with (assuming) clean linens when the walls are paper thin, and the tweakers that rented the room next door keep you awake. All. Night. On a positive note, location scouts for B-movie horror film productions should give it a serious look.

The sink was spraying all over the room when turned on and there was mildew in the shower. I am so so sad and really hate to make a negative review. I really and truly hope these changes can be made to imporve your hotel for the better. I do plan to send another email and attach pictures.
